Uddhav Thackeray meets party leaders as BJP demands more seats

Mumbai, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday met his party leaders to discuss seat-sharing in the Maharashtra Assembly polls. The meeting came about as ally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) demanded 135 seats in the state.
BJP leader Amit Shah even said on Thursday that the BJP will form the government in the state. He made the comment while bargaining for seats with the Shiv Sena.
“We have moved two steps, now it is your turn. The BJP wants the matter to be solved keeping our self respect intact. Let us solve the matter soon. I can assure you that this time it will be a BJP government in Maharashtra,” Shah said.

The Shiv Sena has maintained that there is no trouble in the alliance but added that the Chief Ministerial candidate for Maharashtra will be from the Shiv Sena.
“The alliance is strong, we will contest together. In an alliance, such talks do happen. There was no tough talk in Maharashtra. A little negotiation does take place in an alliance, but there is no doubt that the CM candidate will be from Shiv Sena,” he said.
